Yesterday, October 15th at 9:30am I ran my first 10k. It was pouring down rain, freezing cold and all on hard cement...it was great! My time was one hour and 36 seconds or so but I am just happy that I completed it without stopping even once. I was soaked through to the bone, my socks were wet, I was dripping everywhere, I had no good rain clothes on and my hair even began to dread itself because of the rain and I looked good ;) I am pretty darn sore today and wanting to just go home and lay down. But at the same time I am quite proud of my accomplishment. I know it's not big marathon or anything, but it is a start nonetheless. Not sure if or when the next race will be, but my hope for next time would be that I can do it under an hour. Check out more pics here and enjoy! 
In other news: Yesterday some good friends and I decided to have a "hair party" and we cut, colored and whatever else you can do to your hair. It was great fun except for the fact that my hair is now orange. Well, mainly just the top, but orange indeed! I am quite embarrased of it and have down what I can today to cover it up, but it is still quite obvious. I am leaning towards forking over the big bucks to get it done professionally. That will teach me to do it myself though. Ick!

Wow that is so awesome Katie!! Good Job! And sorry about your hair! Hope you get it sorted out soon!
Orange is the evil color of the week I think. :) Hopefully we'll be back to "normal" again soon friend.
Dude you rock! I remember when I was awesome enough to run a 10K too! And your skinny butt looks so good in those black pants. :) You are SO tough, plus now you get to wear the t-shirt and feel really cool. That's one of the best parts of doing a run. Miss you!
